High-Dose Testosterone (Tc400) followed by Targeted Radioligand Therapy (PSMA-617) for the Treatment of Metastatic Castration Resistant Prostate Cancer
This phase II trial studies how well giving high-dose testosterone with testosterone cypionate (Tc400) followed by a type of targeted radiation treatment called lutetium Lu 177 vipivotide tetraxetan (PSMA-617) works in treating patients with prostate cancer that has spread from where it first started (primary site) to other places in the body (metastatic) and has continued to grow even though testosterone levels are kept low with hormone therapy (castration resistant). Tc400 is a high-dose synthetic form of testosterone that can be used to replace testosterone in patients who don't make enough on their own. PSMA-617 is a radioactive drug. It binds to a protein called prostate-specific membrane antigen (PSMA), which is found on some prostate tumor cells. PSMA-617 builds up in these cells and gives off radiation that may kill them. It is a type of radioconjugate. Tc400 may improve how prostate cancer responds to PSMA-617 by damaging tumor cells and making them more sensitive to the radiation therapy.
